I watched @lowlight video about muzzle velocity shooting prone and from bench months ago.

Today I was shooting off a Tripod shooting plates out to 515yds. My MV has been verified with my V3 at 3020FPS shooting prone several times. That data holds true out to 1100yds.

I threw my chrono on my barrel and ran 5 shots over it.. 2976, 2973, 2981, 2985, 2972. Roughly 45FPS slower shooting off the Tripod. I’m shooting RL26 so air temp shouldn’t come into effect. I was running my dope for 3020FPS and having pretty good center impacts.

Is something wrong with my V3 or does that sound about normal being that much slower off the tripod. I feel like I have pretty good fundamentals in managing recoil.
